GEN 2 Peddle Commander failure?

[David Godbee]

I’ve always been a fan of the peddle commander but now I’ve had a problem. After almost a yr and a half mine has gone bad I beleave. For about a month now I have been getting a wrench with all kinds of system out/not available and no throttle response till I mash it 3/4 to the floor. Numerous times shutting down and restarts to try to clear it and sometimes it worked and some not. Took the PC off and no issues so far. Anyone else feeling whatI’m feeling?

Same issues here with the PC. I did pick up the Burger pedal tuner, no issues yet.

Yup you posted in my thread. I took mine off, no issues yet. I wonder if we can claim warranty on them to get it replaced? It’s apparent this is giving multiple people issues

Mine has been on for 3yrs and no issues. I would try disconnecting and reconnecting it. Maybe initially it didn’t fully click in and finally has worked itself loose. Always listen for the click when installing.

Depending on where you purchased it, they have a 2yr warranty.

My theory is something melted on the inside from these crazy hot days we have had in the south. I bought mine from Rick here on the forums. I think it’s still within warranty

On the Burger pedal tuner, the instructions have you calibrate the gas pedal travel during initial setup. I don't remember doing that with the PC, maybe I forgot?

That seems to be about the main difference, other than no bluetooth (never used BT anyway), performance and options seem the same.

1 thing is for sure, it is painful to go back to stock after using either of these.

Already did the re-attach. No change, that’s why I removed it.

I'm going to throw this out, because I have experienced the same thing you have discussed.
Mine was when I drove past a extremely big/tall cellular tower. Same effects as you described.

Had to stop, shut down, open door to reset and restart and everything was fine.
Tried to duplicate at numerous locations and couldn't, except by this tower.

Any new towers/cables installed in your area?
